New Product Expansion to Series of Stainless Steel Pneumatic Regulators and Filter Regulators

AMHERST, NH, USA – April, 2006 – – ControlAir Inc. announces a major product expansion to their line of Stainless Steel Pneumatic Regulators and Filter Regulators. The expansion includes adding an automatic drain option, a low temperature option for “arctic” applications, and a new Stainless Steel Filter. The Type 350/360/370SS Series was designed to withstand the harshest environments while providing highly accurate pressure regulation and filtration.

The 316 stainless steel housing and filter assemblies and the fluorocarbon diaphragm construction make the Type 350/360/370SS Series compatible with sour gas and adaptable to off shore environments. The Type 350/360/370SS Series meets all NACE standard MR-0175 requirements for corrosive resistance. Low initial cost and minimal air consumption make these units economical to buy and operate. The Type 350/360SS Series also provides extremely accurate and repeatable control of gas pressure. To maximize performance, oversized valving helps the regulators achieve high flow rates with minimal pressure drop. A tapped exhaust port permits remote venting of hazardous gases. A low air consumption rate of 4 SCFH (0.1 m3/hr) ensures economical operation. The Type 370SS Filter removes solid and liquid particles down to 25 micron (5 micron option), producing clean compressed air.

The Type 350/360SS Series is designed to provide instrument quality air to valves, pneumatic controllers, transmitters, transducers, valve positioners, air cylinders, and a wide range of pneumatic control systems. Applications include oil and gas processing, both on and offshore; food; pulp and paper; pharmaceutical processing; pollution control; wastewater treatment and research projects.

The Type 350SS Stainless Steel Filter Regulator is available in ¼” NPT and ½” NPT porting. The Type 360SS Stainless Steel Regulator is available in ¼” NPT. There is a choice of four output ranges that provide outputs up to 150 psig (10 BAR). Maximum supply pressure is 290 psig (20 BAR). Two ¼” NPT gauge ports are included. Low temperature operation for “Arctic” applications ranges from -580F to +1940F (-500C to +900C ). An optional automatic float operated drain is available with 1/8″ NPT connection for the Type 350 and Type 370 series. Optional hardware is offered that allows direct, inline or panel mounting.
